I also want to be in a position where I can do great work, no just get paid more. Getting pid more to work for a bad company would drive me nuts after a while - it's harder to put out a max effort at a bad company once you've been there a while living in a culture of mediocrity.

Same thing might be true for players - they may earn less money, but they could wind up with Super Bowl rings, Pro Bowl nods, or even HOF status by choosing a better fit over more $$$.

Money isn't everything. Nobody really remembers a player years later for their big contract, because someone else will have always had a bigger one later. They'll remember them for their play, so fit becomes important. If a player cares about "legacy" they should care about fit, too.

These comments are in general - in no way is Myers a HOF center, but the general concept applies.

Note: I fully appreciate that players feel the need to maximize their earnings in their short careers, and that money is the only thing that drives some people.

Im not sure you can compare everyday joe and his career to a NFL player who on avg plays something around 3 years. If you were faced with the chance to sign a big money contract knowing you had a much shorter timeframe to make your money I think your choices might be different

Maybe, but I know I'd rather be a champion and make $40M than be a guy who made $50M and never made the playoffs - but that has to do with my own beliefs, personality and work ethic. I like to be the best, and my personal measuring stick isn't just cash. I'm not saying I'd play for the minimum or something, the cash is a large part of it, but I'd take a little less if it meant I could be a better player and be in a better position to excel.

I know there are plenty who would and obviously do take the money, even though they know they're going into a situation where the only success they'll see is their paycheck. There's a deeper discussion we could get into, but I doubt I'd change anyone's mind. People are either wired that way or they're not, no matter what their profession is.

Apologies for the thread drift.

Possible. Or maybe he's doing the Texans a solid by not signing with anyone, giving the Texans a chance to draw up a matching contract or at least something close... You never know...

I know some people will be apoplectic at the thought of this, but I trust Wade to be able to scheme through any inherent weakness and I expect a first rounder to be able to hold his own at this point.

If not, at the end of next season, I will be on the goodbye Kareem bandwagon, although I really don't believe it would come to that.

This isn't to say that them looking at Spencer would mean that they would definitely start him/put him in the Allen role, but then, if he's not going to play, then why load up at CB again when we have this perpetual movement of young CB's on our roster who never get the chance.

Molden went to the Pats last year and started at times. Ok he wasn't great, but he never saw the field for us even through 2010!!

While I agree on KJ and the backups (sink or swim) not sure I see it after watching the trial of Jacoby.
